Gherkin

Gherkin is the language used to write Cucumber executable feature specifications in conversational syntax. The syntax provides structure and meaning using special keywords including:

  • Feature
  • Background
  • Scenario
  • Given
  • When
  • Then
  • And
  • But
  • Scenario Outline
  • Examples

Behavior Driven Development

The BDD paradigm is that it's better to write code you wish you had and have a feature that is working instead of writing something you’re not sure is right and writing tests around it.

Features

In Expertiza, features are stored in /features. Within this folder you can find several sub-folders such as /admin, /instructor, and /student. This structure is to organize tests that apply to specific roles.
